Garmin Introduces European FliteCharts

Garmin continues to expand its global aviation chart coverage with the
release of European terminal charts, including instrument approach
charts, SIDs, STARs, and airport diagrams. These charts are the most
recent addition to the growing list of worldwide aviation charting
products available from Garmin, which are compatible with select Garmin
avionics and portables. Additional charts such as ground movement charts
and airport diagrams are also available as part of the European
FliteCharts database.

European FliteCharts provide enhanced situational awareness when used
with Garmin products because they offer pilots geo-referencing
capabilities for many approaches. This feature conveniently overlays the
aircraft position onto the chart so pilots can easily identify their
progress in-flight as they fly an approach.

European FliteCharts cover the following countries for the initial
release:

  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • France
  • Germany
  • Italy
  • Luxembourg
  • Netherlands
  • Switzerland
  • United Kingdom

Pilots may download European FliteCharts from flyGarmin.com without the
need for additional software updates to their Garmin products. The new
European FliteCharts are compatible with Garmin portables capable of
displaying terminal charts, including the GPSMAP 695/696, and aera
795/796. Additional compatibility is offered for the G3X, G3X Touch and
select certified avionics, including the GTN series, G500, G600, G1000,
G2000, G3000, and G5000.

European FliteCharts are available today starting at $124.95 as a single
purchase or as part of Bundle or PilotPak database subscriptions. For
